I'm so bad to not have posted this sooner but life gets in the way sometimes. This is from Becky. She stitched me this for the Fair and Square Exchange. It's a "spooky" web and I love how she stitched her initial sqaure.

Next up are two WIPs pictures. The top one is Shepherd's Bush Jillian's Stocking. For the past few weeks I've been looking for a stocking to buy for my God Daughter Isabel (she's my cousin's daughter) and I haven't been able to find one nice enough for her. On Friday I was at my not so LNS and was browsing through the charts an *poof* the idea dawned on me that I could make her one. Of course it's not going to be done by Christmas for her but for next year it will definitely be ready for her. I'm hoping to get all the stitching done by Christmas so I can atleast show it to her, well really her parents because she'll be 9 months by then and could probably care less about it LOL. I wish I could post a picture of her because she's so freaking cute but I just don't feel comfortable doing so. On Thanksgiving she had turkey for the first time and she kept going mmmm mmmm mmmmm mmmmm hehe. Too cute!

I started Bent Creek's Autumn Snapperland before my stocking. I love the fabric I'm stitching it on and unfortunately I don't know the name of it :-( I bought it at CATS from a small booth that had it stitched up on this. It was a tiny booth and barely had enough space in it for the workers. If anyone knows which booth I'm talking about I'd love to know so that I can perhaps find the name of the fabric.

Oh one more thing! Thanks for the comments on my little bee, I forgot to write about his little wings, they have blending filament in them so they sparkle. He's at the finisher's as well and I'm impatiently waiting for his return so I can use my scissors. Off to stitch on my stocking! TTFN
***Edited to answer Barbara's comment*** It did come with a Belgiam postmark!!!

I'm curious if your RAK came with a Belgian postmark ... a few others have also received something mysterious from that part of the world. :)
Great new starts!!
I love all your new starts! And your finishes as well! Becky's squares are just the thing...aren't they?! And I love the sheep!
My daughter got a RAK in the mail too from Belgium with no return address and no name...
hmmmmm....
Becky's square is so pretty! The Bee is cute, but I don't get the name of it. I stitched that same shepherd's bush pattern (Thankful) for the Fair & Square exchange, did you get it at Lazy Daisy too? I really like the newest one in the series, Wish, and Diana ordered it in like early October or something but they are very slow shipping it for some reason :(
You can't go wrong with a SB Stocking!!! I've done two of them for the grandbabies and they are absolutely georgeous!! I did Charles stocking for John and I did Elizabeths stocking for Macy and I have all the stuff for JIllian's stocking for Mia.
I recently finished Jillian's stocking, and I am compelled to pass on the info that someone gave me. You need 3 (*three!*) skeins of Concord for the stocking. (And I was miserly with the thread.) It will be beautiful when it's done!
Beautiful F&S blocks! Love the Halloweenie thread she used for them :)
Great start on your wips!
Lovely F&S to receive!
